#gbcompo23 — Public Fediverse posts

Lastly, here are the trends for toolchains in #gbcompo over time. As mentioned, mostly steady showing continued participation from all parts of the #Gameboy development community.

There's much more of a shift visible in music drivers.

Excited to see the #gbcompo25 entries!! I will likely not be entering as I am still working on finishing my #GBcompo23 game that I entered as a demo 😅

Sharing this bit of info since I just compiled it for some #gbcompo25 related discussion (using modified catskull header tool):

For music drivers in #gbcompo23, #hugedriver has easily overtaken #gbtplayer, but gbt is hanging in more than might be expected given the improved workflow and output hUGEDriver has.

No showings for #devsound and #gbsoundsystem this time.

What tools were used to make #gameboy games in #gbcompo23? Very similar to #gbcompo21!

- #gbstudio is main share
- #asm & #gbdk / C have a couple
- #zgb has 2 entries

In chart "Unknown" is likely #asm (#rgbds, #wladx, etc)

Incube8 Games, our main #GBCompo23 sponsor and long-time community sponsor, is a video game publisher and vendor specializing in both digital and high-quality physical releases for the Game Boy family of consoles. They have helped resurrect the development of Infinity, a previously unreleased GBC game, through a successful Kickstarter campaign, as well as provided commercial releases for some of the #GBCompo21 entries, too!

As we're getting closer to the #GBCompo23 deadline, we wanted to give a shout out to our awesome sponsors, starting with @ferrantecrafts, an online shop of tons of retro items, including a couple of titles originally developed for #GBCompo21!

Finished that school scene this morning, phew! 😌

It took me more time than expected because of the school building but also because I reached the limit of maximum 192 repeated 8x8 tiles

That's a GameBoy limitation apparently and I learned it the hard way.. When I did try to render that scene on my GBC, it actually crashed, oops! 🤭😅

Finished overworld prototype. The actor location nodes are copy/pastable and easily configured to connect to the "tree". The idea is to do a randomized, branching, pick-your-poison map similar to FTL or Inscryption with location "types". The other location types will probably end up as simple coin-flip style events. Cash stat is bugged lol.

I made a small mockup for #GBCompo23 jam

A top down RPG where you'd play a monster kid that must wear a cardboard on his head so that he can attend school classes

I hope I'll have enough time to finish it..🤞😅

Shifted to a horizontal style layout with "lanes" and replaced emotes with animation states. Still gotta finish cook times and randomize incoming customer sprites.

Added customer cycling, customer patience, eating, payment, and anger.

I'm not sure sure what everyone else's experience is, but I'm finding it kind of hard to keep the script bloat down with GB studio. I guess it's just the medium.

I'm thinking I'll need to replace emotes with sprite states or pallete swaps.

Slowly making progress with the cooking minigame, was able to refactor alot of the logic out of the actors into reusable scripts. Still need to sort out cook times and other mechanics. At least we have better placeholders now.

A bug with my engine hack had me going through the 5 stages of grief, but I'm finally making progress with one of the core minigames! Still need to swap out placeholder assets

Finally somewhat out of the planning phase for our GB Compo 2023 entry. Overall, it feels a little ambitious given the timeline, but I'm super excited to finally start prototyping!
